sort, partly opened and showing two kerr

All gold iawelry is fashionable. All
silver ieweIry is fashionable. Enameled
isweirY is fashionable. Gold wire decor
atiOrs, Roman gold ornaments, the cab
Crate ly-carved finish, the combination of
metsls-sl these are fashionable.
The grO.esque is not decreasing in
favor. Crabs, fish and toads have been
added to the list of cold and creepy things
which ladies love to wear. And there is
no end OF trinkets suCl as paddock brace
lets, wish-bone pins, tiny loCkets through
whose crystal sides appears tOqF,leaved
clover.
Are the readers Of this column tired Of
hearing that heliOtr0pe is the color? Well
DO not weary; there are ten differ ent
shades which may be studied, from The
fair "auemOnen to the ''dalia," and there
is surely adapt2bIlity in some Of these
t. the varied COmp.eXiOus; second 10
this color sre shades Of green, TAB
sin'he, serpent" and bright "NIle
green" but for the tailyr-mlde suit the
fashionable color IS the gray-olue VITA
Cxdized silver trimmings.
All waist trimmings, narrow as they ap-
prOsch the point, giving to stout figures
an appearance of slenderness. Btalding
is again popular, and frequently covers
the narrow front of the skirt, IS put upon
both sides Of the bodice and forms epau-
lets and cuffs and en- ornament for the
high side Of the skirt.
Dotted net is much used Tor evening
dress, and yoCng lady Of taste can easily
make q charming evening costume with
but little expense, the most costly ad-
inuct being the watered ribbon which
forms the sash. The dress is of some
delicate shade of muslin, ana q pointed
bodice of the net, an old style low neCked
waist and short sleeves of the muslin be
ing worn underneath.
There seems to be no statement in the
rage for lace dresses. When black lace
is used the dress is entirely black, a
cheap satin being used for the foundation.
The fashion extends itself 10 tea gowns.
These are made with fitted backs and
loose flowing fronts tied at the throat.
The sleeves may be flowing or gathered
at the wrist. There is u marked tendency to
the full sleeve. The coat sleeve is doomed
at least for the summer, and puf5 are
| introduced into all gowns. Puts at the
shoulder, pufts diminishing to the elbow,
more or less as preferred, but putS there
must be. For plain wear there is also
the full sleeve gathered into pointed
cuff. This last generally accompanies
the woke dress with the full waist. a
simple dress of this style is given
| in the April number of Demorest
! "This costume is made in cream
colored satin figured with red,
the woke trimmed with bands of black
ribbon velvet, and the collar, cuffs and
corselet of black velvet. The design eau
be used to complete costume made IN
the same goods, or if made of cashmere,
nuns yelling or surah, with velvet aces
series, it can be used with various skirts
and it is suitable for silk, wooden or cot
ton fabrics, and the velvet can be used
with all. The corselet can be replaced by
a belt and sash, if preferred, but is more
l conducive to q slender effect than the lat
liter arrangement. Plain sleeves can also
be substituted for the full ones. Tnt
corselet can be laced either back or front
